Tbe Rate war spreadipg.

New YORK, Sept ia new feature in the
cut Of railroad passenger rates this morning was
the sale in large numbers of tickets to southern
cities at nearly one-half regular rates. Tickets
were sold by brokers to Atlanta for SIS, and to
New Orleans for $19 and $40. The regular fare
TO the first-named city is $24 and to New Or
leans $:4 The fare to St. Louis. $l9, is, far,
the lowest of the week. In spite of the assur-
anees of the Central Traffic Association, the
tendency seemed to be toward still further
reduction. Brokers claim that the coming
meeting of the Grand Army Of the Republic at
St. Louis, with it's accom- panying low excursion
rates, will continue the in spite of every
thing. simply transferring the headquarters Of
the business to St Louis.
The Ohio 81 Mississippi railroad has been do
ing some slashipg in Eastern rates. 1t has
reduced the New York st. Louis round trip rates
from $50 so to $50. so, made the Buffalo round
trip rate SIC, which is 81 so less than the regular
rate one way. and $l3 less than the round-trip
fare during the summer. and cut the Niagara
Falls round trip rate to $40 80. 1t also reduced
the regular fare to New York from $40. so to
$40 so Nobody seems to know the motive for
this action.

told me about the thing says that as gin
ger essence contains about 100 per cent
alcohol, and whisky less than 30 per cent,
the former IS therefore twice as intOxicat-
ing. i'm fact, this is the reason why il is
used by hardened old topers whose stOm-
achs are no longer capable Of intoxicating
stimulation from whisky. They need the
more powerful agency Of the pure alcohol
